One Hand Keg Stand (Truman Gale) went straight to the front and was first to the quarter in :27. She used a :29.2 second quarter to be first to the half in :56.2. As they raced around the final turn, Special Olivia (Steeven Genois) came up to challenge for the lead and caused One Hand Keg Stand to break. Special Olivia was first to three-quarters in 1:24.4.

As they reached the stretch, Special Olivia held the lead. Lorrie Sue (Frank Affrunti) came inside as Dream On A Roll ($10.80) squeezed even further inside. Dream On A Roll got by to win by a nose. Lorrie Sue had to settle for second. The Moma Dance (Barton Dalious) finished third due to the disqualification of Special Olivia.

Dream On A Roll is a 7-year-old mare by Roll With Joe. She is owned by Todd Santoro and trained by Gary Gibson. It was her fifth win of the season and her 20th career victory.
